The Rasmus

The Rasmus is a five-star boutique guest house, restaurant and venue on a sprawling 20-hectare working farm in Erasmus Park, Pretoria. Its restored homestead stands on the historic grounds of Farm Waterkloof and is linked to the Erasmus family, the last owners of Erasmus Castle. Rose gardens, garden and lake views, and one of South Africa's largest koi ponds with a waterfall make it a peaceful escape just 10 minutes from the Pretoria CBD and 20 minutes from O.R. Tambo.
